HARD WEAR: THE LYTHIC™ ADVANTAGE FOR UNPOLISHED CONCRETE

Any concrete slab can become a high-performance, low maintenance durable floor with the use of Lythic Solutions chemistry. Ordinary concrete can be transformed into an easy-to-clean, stain-resistant surface without the need for sealers, coatings, or toppings. All the performance benefits offered by polished concrete floors can be obtained without polishing by using Lythic™ Densifier, Lythic™ Protector, and Lythic™ Cleaner.

LYTHIC DENSIFIER
Lythic Densifier is a clean, safe, highly reactive densifying agent based on Colloidal Silica. It can be applied to newly-placed concrete as soon as it sets, while the concrete is still wet. It will also perform with slabs that are decades old, taking advantage of chemical residues that have been locked in the concrete since it was cast, and turning them into new cementitious material that hardens and densifies the concrete surface.
          Lythic Densifier fills in the pore structure of the concrete's surface layer, making it denser and harder. It lowers the concrete's permeability to liquids, increasing stain resistance and eliminating the need for sealants. It makes the concrete more abrasion- and abuse-resistant. It works equally well with natural or colored concrete.

If the concrete has been previously coated or painted, the surface must be removed to allow Lythic Densifier to penetrate into the concrete. Lythic Densifier is applied simply by spraying on until the surface layer of the slab is saturated. It begins reacting immediately. The reaction is complete within one hour. The only possible residue is a small quantity of safe, white powder, which can be vacuumed up. (This is an important, time-saving and safety improvement over conventional densifying products, which must be scrubbed into the surface for one hour, and then left to react over night. Older products produce a caustic chemical slurry that must be scrubbed off the following day, and disposed of as a hazardous material.)
          Lythic Densifier is an economical way to make the concrete you already have perform to its highest possible level.
          Lythic Densifier is a green product that contains no harsh chemical solvents and emits no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's). Its low alkalinity (pH approx 8.7) is only slightly higher than baking soda. Get MSDS

LYTHIC PROTECTOR
Lythic Protector is applied as a finishing conditioner after Lythic Densifier. It introduces additional Colloidal Silica to the slab, along with a thin, clear polymer layer that gives additional protection to the slab surface. It enhances the color of pigmented, stained or dyed concrete. It provides extra protection against accidental staining from spills. It is particularly useful against mild acids, such as might be encountered in environments where food is handled or served. Like Lythic Densifer, it is easily applied, and can be re-applied if desired. Get MSDS

LYTHIC CLEANER
Lythic Cleaner combines cleaning action with Colloidal Silica. It adds extra protection to the concrete surface while it cleans. It is recommended to use it as part of regular building maintenance for maximum value. Get MSDS
